artwork is indeed labeled “snap”.

I checked with a virtual machine and even with 256 Mb of VRAM I could see textures , so that's not the issue. Can you check what kind of files you have in the snaps folder? Resolution, file type etc.

Scripting / Screenshots and how to check if a file exists

« Last post by zpaolo11x on Today at 01:06:20 AM »

I want to do this: take a screenshot of AM and then load it as an image file.
I can easily write a routine that scans through the AM folder and selects the last screenshot pathname. My idea was to do something like, in a on_signal routine:

generate the screenshot through signal("screenshot")
run through the folder and get the filename
add the filename to the image

The issue is that, as far as I can see, it takes some time to create the screenshot so the routine finds the previous one. Is there a way to wait until the intended file is created?

Would love a setting to permanently set the rotation. Can't figure out how to get AM to save it.

I renamed layout.nut to layout_shader.nut, and duplicated layout_noshader.nut to layout.nut. Video snap is shown! Snap images however do not.

Ok, I found why video snaps were not showing: I spelled "yes" instead of "Yes" in the default option. This was easy. The hard part is the snaps issue, I'm still struggling to see the reason, maybe a lack of video memory? I'll do some tests in my emulated environment to see if texture memory can affect this...

amd 3core 3.5 i think lol
amd ghost 7770 1g grafix 12 gigs ddr3
asus mobo

Great! It should run pretty well on that hardware.

The machine I have in my arcade cab is:

• AMD Athlon64 3200
• 512Mb RAM
• Nvidia 8600GT

And it runs amazingly well for most games - I've not tried anything above mid-90's or 3D.

Will try that tonight. Thank you.

Just to be sure, since from the screenshots it really looks like the artwork is completely missing, are you sure your category is called "snap" and not "Snap" or "snaps" or any other spelling? I'm really puzzled

General / Re: Error emulator AM 2.4

« Last post by rexxar on Yesterday at 11:28:36 AM »

Well after looking at many forums and websites I have not found the solution. It has to be some compatibility problem with the new version of the frontend and the emulator. So what I have done is remove it and try other emulators to see if I found one that worked and I found in Fceux that works very well and has not given me any problems so far.
